Global prosperity since the first industrial revolution has been built on the burning of fossil fuels.

Guests: Climate campaigner Risalat Khan; Nicholas Stern, chair of the Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment; Mariana Mazzucato, economics professor at University College London.
